Site with lots of maths puzzles, some features, revision, and links to other sites.

Mathematics, Education, Information Technology and the Internet - and some straightforward sums too...

History of Chinese Mathematics

Algebra sites

The following are suitable for teachers:

and these for students and teachers:

Available here are accounts of the lives and works of seventeenth and eighteenth century mathematicians (and some other scientists), adapted from A Short Account of the History of Mathematics by W. W. Rouse Ball (4th Edition, 1908).

Uproar http://www.uproar.co.uk/ is an outrageously good site for Maths lovers! The site has trivia, quizzes and fun puzzles, plus links to the up-to-date news site PA News. You can even win prizes...

A bit of fun – not for pupils and sometimes near the knuckle – but nonetheless, very clever!

A comprehensive history of mathematical ideas and mathematicians. The extensive archive contains the biographies of more than 1300 mathematicians, which accessible from a selection of Alphabetical or Chronological Biographical indexes. For anyone deeply interested in the development and history of Mathematics, this site is a must.

Everything you’ve always wanted to know!

Tessellations http://www.quiltgallery.com/technique2.htm or http://library.advanced.org/16661/

Maths for morons like us!

A "wacky" and interesting site dedicated to the history and development of the mathematical term "Pi". As the author David Blatner describes: "No number has captured the attention and imagination of number fanatics and nerds throughout the ages as much as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter--a.k.a. pi. With historical insight and a refreshing sense of humour, The Joy of Pi brings us the story of pi and humankind's fascination with it, from Archimedes through da Vinci to the modern day". An interesting and refreshing approach to mathematics.

We are all relatively familiar with the appearance of fractals; bright, weird beautiful shapes that seem to defy explanation. This comprehensive web-resource answers those questions. Fractals are in fact, geometric figures, just like rectangles, circles and squares, but possess certain properties that they do not. The site is aimed squarely at kids and proposes to demystify fractals and place them in their true mathematical context.

An outstanding website. Utilising an interactive Java program, this site poses mathematical subtractions, multiplications, additions and divisions. Simply wait for the question and then give your answer! If you answer correctly, you get a green "smiley" face, if you answer incorrectly, you get a yellow "frown" with the answer to the problem beneath. An excellent resource which is very easy to use. The site also boasts a range of other educational features which are applicable across other topics. An excellent resource.

A huge range of quality information can be found here at Maths Cyber Surf. The site suggests that to "break away from the chalk and board, students need to construct their own understanding of each mathematical concept. The primary role of teaching will not be to lecture, explain, or otherwise attempt to "transfer" mathematical knowledge, but to create situations for students that will foster their learning of mathematics through exposure and experience. The coming change will enable the students to take charge with the guidance from the mathematics teachers. To prepare for this change, we as mathematics teachers can make use of this ready resource from the Internet to make the study of mathematics a more interesting one for our students." A very useful site, with lots of links to other excellent sources of information.

An innovative site for teaching kids basic numeracy. By using "Monsters" with varying numbers of limbs, learning to count becomes fun!

"Whether you solve them at home or in the classroom, individually or as a group, you'll find our Brain Teasers both entertaining and mentally challenging." An American-based site offering challenging and stimulating Mathematical brainteasers for children of all ages. Very simple to use.

BBC Maths stuff http://www.bbc.co.uk/education/gcsebitesize/maths/index.shtml for the bitesize revision.

A unique site that attempts to represent paper folding in a mathematical context. It describes a range of activities that can be attempted with paper to explore various aspects of mathematics, including Tessellation and Geometry. Primarily a teacher’s resource, it contains many ideas that can be used as the basis for classroom demonstrations and practical work.

A site which takes any "integral" requiring "evaluation" and automatically "integrates" Pupils are able to check their integration's on the WWW. It is useful, but the site does require you to learn the format for entering integrals and reading the reply from the system. Apart from a few minor niggles, the site is definitely worth a visit for secondary maths students.
